Great day out . Well worth the money. - Found the tour to be great. My wife and I had a great time. The views from the skyrail was amazing and the train trip back was full of interesting information and lots of great act. Michael was awesome and he communicated all the details we needed and was always providing us information on the trip to the Skyrail as well as back when he picked us up from the train.

Cairns Custom Tours made everything easy. - Michael from Cairns Custom Tours made the whole day more enjoyable. He made sure everything ran smoothly from pickup and drop off at our hotel to ensuring we had the tickets needed for Skyrail and train. We had the added bonus of an interesting commentary en route. Kuranda is a top tourist destination for a reason but allow enough time. We got off at the first Skyrail station but the short boardwalk is not worth the extended wait to reboard. We skipped the next stop as the train stops at Barron Falls on the return trip anyway.

Magnificent Kuranda - This tour was excellent. We loved the skyway with excellent scenery and also the railway which is a magnificent feat of engineering. The views were spectacular. Michael did a great job of narrating and transporting us. He has a lot of knowledge of the area and provided a lot of interesting facts.

Miracles do happen in midst of loss - Celebrating our 30th anniversary, 1st time in Cairns. While taking beautiful photos of the scenery,suddenly the holder on my mobile broke and my mobile dropped from my hand. I was shocked and devastated coz had thousands of photos & videos of family and work and totally no back up. I was in shock and devastated. Prayed and cried so much only a miracle can help find my mobile. Staff super helpful especially the person who found my mobile in the rainforest. Thank God and Kuranda Team
